Talk:Gemma Doyle (politician)

Page move?
Shouldn't this page be moved to Gemma Doyle? The page redirects here anyway and information on the other Gemma Doyle is included at List of Gemma Doyle Trilogy characters so it would seem logical to lose the add on at the end of this and make it the main Gemma Doyle article. Any thoughts? TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Just seen this. Yes, I agree, so I'll just go ahead — can't see anything controversial.—A bit iffy (talk) 16:35, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried to rename it but can't, so I've requested assistance on Requested moves/Technical requests—A bit iffy (talk) 16:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, in 2012, there was "nothing controversial" about moving the politician to primary topic, see the request. – Wbm1058 (talk) 15:10, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Gemma Doyle → Gemma Doyle (politician) – No evidence that this politician is more notable than the Gemma Doyle books. On page views, 'Gemma Doyle' gets 800-odd views, but 'Gemma Doyle trilogy' gets over 1200, despite the politician being on a primary page, and therefore presumably getting at least some people who were looking for the books or the book character. Gemma Doyle (disambiguation) could then be moved to the primary page. Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - The politician does not seem to be the primary topic.--Yaksar (let's chat) 23:01, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is worth noting here that another editor has listed Gemma Doyle (disambiguation) for deletion. This is Paul (talk) 23:05, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The AfD was closed as keep, with no prejudice against this proposed move. Boleyn (talk) 08:53, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment – The politician is certainly more embedded in the encyclopedia. There were so many links to disambiguate that I used WP:AWB to make the edits. Just a couple of links to disambiguation needed to be redirected to the fictional character. Another case of recent popularity vs. long-term historical significance. Boleyn, it was bad form of you to perform this move as the nominator, an involved party, but I suppose I do support there being no primary topic. – Wbm1058 (talk) 15:10, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I didn't realise that there was a ban on closing move requests as nominator, it had been over a week and no objection. If I've made an error, I wouldn't object to anyone undoing my edit. Boleyn (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see from the instructions "However, it is fine for a discussion participant to close a requested move in the following circumstances: If the discussion reaches a unanimous result after a full listing period (seven days)." so you're good. Participation has been sparse, though, both in 2012 and now, and I'm not really familiar with either the fictional character or the politician. I'll go ahead and finish the close then, as no primary topic seems the reasonable default, and my Google search gives priority to the trilogy. – Wbm1058 (talk) 17:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
